Les “métaux lourds” dans les sols : comprendre leur distribution naturelle (matériau parental, pédogenèse) pour évaluer correctement les contaminations d'origine humaine.
Diverses méthodes de réhabilitation de sites pollués. Ne rien faire, recouvrir, décaper, immobiliser la pollution, voire l'extraire par des méthodes de phytoremédiation. Un exemple d'action mêlant immobilisation in situ et phytostabilisation.
Climate and environmental changes since the Last Glacial Maximum in the tropical zone of West Africa are usually inferred from marine and continental records. In this study, the potential of carbonate pedo-sedimentary geosystems, i.e. Vertisol relics, to record paleoenvironmental changes in the southwestern part of Chad Basin are investigated. A mu...

Soils in boundary conditions of contrasting ecosystems generally show unique features. Transition often leads to changes in soil-forming processes, whereby the environment never comes to equilibrium and therefore the soil chemistry and mineralogy show different influences. Such an environment was analysed in the Saloum River basin, west-central Sen...
